NHL Trade Deadline Day

[Tranplanner]

Any other cyburbanites out there with their ear glued to sportsradio, and/or constantly refreshing their fav sports webpage for the latest?

Colorado seems to be making some significant moves this a.m.

Waiting to see were they ship Satan.

I keep checking CNN to see what who is coming and going from the wings...

A Canadian who likes hockey, who'd have guessed? ;-) :-D


(All stereotypes have some basis in reality. sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

I'd love for my Jersey Devils to acquire Satan. :d:
And it would be poetic, as well. :-D

I really wanted sergei gonchar but Lamoriello wouldn't pull the trigger on that one.

[OT] Slightly, OT: Will there even be hockey next season? [/OT]

I think the lights may go out all season and the league will lose a lot of its fan base IMO.

Salary Cap, Salary Cap, Salary Cap, Salary Cap, Salary Cap!!!!!!

Revenue Sharing, Revenue Sharing, Revenue Sharing, Revenue Sharing, Revenue Sharing!!!!

Who in the hell is this Gilbert from Colorado that the Oilers traded for Salo? I mean, I know it's a salary dump and all for the Oil, but puhleeze...

Okay all Wisconsinites (or whatever people from Wisconsin are called ) can you give me any dirt on the Gilbert guy? He supposedly plays on Univ of Wisconsin's team.

Chris Gratton was an interesting pick for Colorado. He is a good player that just doesn't seem to fit in a lot of organizations... but I think Colorado would be good for him.

He's been through a lot of organizations, including here, and this basically sums it up. Under-achieving player, with the size to go to the net, but sticks to the permiter because he's afraid of getting injured. We traded him to Phoenix 2 years ago for Briere and got a much better player in return.

Yeah, he sucked when he was on the Sabres (but that was okay, because I'm a Leafs fan and I like it when the Sabres suck ).

I saw him play when he was with Philly and he was really good for that one game when I saw him play live. He just isn't consistent unfortunately, which is too bad because he's a big guy that could really do something with the game. I think his problem is that he played with T.B. during his formative NHL experience... somehow that place ruined the best prospects when it first started up. Somehow Colorado takes players like him and they turn out great. I hope it works out okay... he's one or two more teams from collapsing into Alexander Daigle-like obscurity.

Yeah, I like it when we beat the Leafs and put Eddie "the Cough Surup Eagle" to bed

Gratton seemed inconsistant on every team I've seen him play on so far, so who knows. What's going on with Selane over there anyway?

I really wanted sergei gonchar but Lamoriello wouldn't pull the trigger on that one.

I for one have been pleasantly suprised that my Bruins are actually making moves. I love the Gonchar pickup, and it's already paying dividends....I just hope we can sign him at the end of the season.....Nylander was a decent pick up as well. I don't expect to see the B's make any more moves, but then again, I didn't expect the ownership to make any at all.....

 

[Gedunker]

I love the Gonchar pickup.....Nylander was a decent pick up as well.....

I'm also glad that the Bs got gonchar and nylander -- it keeps 'em out of Philadelphia (boo, hiss).

 

[SlaveToTheGrind]

After growing up in Minnesota, I lost all interest in hockey and cards after the North Stars left for Dallas.

 

[Tranplanner]

I think Leetch was a good move for the Leafs - not sure about signing Johanson out of retirement. The Leafs don't have any draft picks/prospects left to get involved in any more big deals IMO. We'll see.

 

[nerudite]

OMG! The Leafs got Ron Francis... he's one of my fave players to watch. I know it's a short term playoff run decision, but at least they picked a player I love.

 

[Gedunker]

Awaiting the Devils acquisition of Satan . . .
Did anybody see Bertuzzi's cheep shot on Steve Moore Monday night? Moore has a concussion and broken vertabrae. That kind of attack is just not part of the sport, IMO.

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Its 3pm, what happened?

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Empire Sports Network has learned that the Buffalo Sabres have traded center Curtis Brown as part of a three team deal. The Sabres acquired defenseman Jeff Jillson from the Boston Bruins. Brown goes to the San Jose Sharks and the Bruins acquire forward Brad Boyes from San Jose.

The Buffalo Sabres have traded C prospect Jakub Klepis to the Washington Capitals for forward Mike Grier. Stay tuned to Empire Sports and WNSA for further Sabres developments.

This is all I've heard, were going nowhere.
